For 50 years the BBC's External Services have been broadcasting to the world. This documentary is loosely built around 24 hours in the life of Bush House, a mini United Nations, where disc jockey Dave Lee Travis , actors Cheryl Campbell and Ian Holm and sports commentator Paddy Feeney mix with the colourful representatives of 39 nations.
The film travels out to find some of the 100 million listeners - African villagers, Asian stall holders, lonely expatriates, nomads with their camel trains. It shows how everything in Somalia stops at 5.30 pm for the BBC news, and how in China the English-by-television programme Follow Me is the most popular show on television with its English presenter, Kate Flower , a national film star. It also shows how for many, like the Poles, the Russians or the Argentinians, listening to the BBC has been the only means of learning the truth.
